Missouri discrimination law does not cover LGBT, for now

Missouri discrimination law does not ban discrimination based on LGBT status, unlike other states. In other words, an employer can legally fire an employee just because the employee is lesbian or gay under state law. This is true even if the employee follows all work place rules.

During this legislative session, a bi-partisan group of Republicans and Democrats have proposed legislation which protects a person from being fired for simply being lesbian or gay.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.﻿
